Fathers
Bizzare creatures they are
For most
They cause pain and suffering
And for the lucky some
They hold your hand in hard times
Sing to you lullabies
Make your mother happy,
Not the reason she cries
They help you with your homework
And they work hard
They can control their anger
Raise their kid
Be responsible
Be kind
Care
Try
Respect that you are adolescents
And most of all
BE YOUR PARENT

Fathers
Bizzare creatures they are
I know that some are good
Which I admit
Gives me jealousy
What did I do to deserve one like mine?

If only the characters I read about in books
Were actually alive



Oh how much more
Would I love this world
They just seem so much more-----relatable?
Whether this is because we are all the same and I get to see into their mind
Or because the authors are genius and they want me to love the characters
I don't know
I don't care
Bring them alive

People often ask
“What do you want to be?”
I know the answer they're looking for
Doctor, musician, cop
But ever since I was little
The answer in my head was always
“Happy”
Wake up in the morning happy for another day
When life isn't grey

When I go to the airport
I always wear a funny shirt
Because waiting in line is so dull
And I want to make someone smile
Maybe get a laugh
Maybe make a friend
Maybe make a day
Because why not?

All humans do
Is to result in happiness
We do everything in our power
“Once I get __ I will finally be happy”
We think
Then after a while
we get it
And we may be happy for a bit
Then it's over
And we want something else
“If only I had it!”
And it starts all over again

Some fear spiders and snakes
Some, closed spaces, or swimming in deep lakes
Some fear eating too much or talking to people
Some, heights or needles
Then there are those who only fear their own mind
And all of the terrible thoughts and memories inside
And to those people
I wish you prosperity
❤️❤️❤️

Yes
There's a monster in my head
He makes me dread
Everything
He makes me fear
Everyone
He comes out
Late at night
He claims he doesn't want to hut me
But he always does
He makes me question myself
And those I love

Yes
There's a monster in my head
He makes me lie for hours in bed
And for some comedic relief
I called him fred
Fred the monster
Living rent-free in my head
Please leave me alone
I don't need you at all
Fred doesn't leave
